How can I secure my laptop at college?
First off, you should do all the essential things to secure your laptop, like configuring BIOS settings so that no one can boot it up without a password. Make sure *full disk encryption* is enabled on your device for extra security if you can do so. If not, that’s okay! You can encrypt files individually to protect them. If you use Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., encrypt your files with a strong password or enable 2-factor authentication and set up an application-specific password for that service to use just in case one gets hacked somehow. Now there are many ways you can download the files needed to decrypt your encrypted files if they get into the wrong hands. This can be done through popular cloud services or with free software that you don’t have to store files on a server to use the decrypting program.
